Republicans seem to have forgotten the cardinal rule of President Obama: He’s at his best when he’s on the stump. When he said he was going to bring the jobs bill to the American people and garner support, Republicans should, just maybe, have listened . . . but they didn’t. And they continue to waste time, waste energy, and simply waste space.

Let’s see what Republicans have been up to while President Obama has been selling his jobs package to the public (a jobs package, by the way, that would put about 1.8 million people back to work and that’s supported by72% of Americans).

Hmm, let’s see how Republicans are doing on improving American lives, particularly on the jobs front – oh, I know . . . everyone can breathe easier knowing that Republicans have been batting around the National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act. And H.Con.Res. 13, the super important bill that ensures that “In God We Trust” is plastered all over public schools and government buildings. According to Republicans, ”some people, including Obama, needed to be reminded of the motto.” Hey, Republicans may not have a single damn jobs bill, but they’re on a mission from God himself. I’m sure the unemployed will be reminded, every time they see the motto, that Republicans traded it for their well-being.
